Seeing this, the middle-aged man stood up and said goodbye to the man in green robe.

The green-robed man glanced at Gu Xiyue carefully before leaving. His lustful eyes gave Gu Xiyue goose bumps all over her body.

After they left, she grabbed Gu Xing'an's arm.

"Dad, what marriage?"

Gu Xing'an felt a little guilty, but he quickly put on a smile, took her to sit down, and pointed to the betrothal gifts filling the yard outside.

"Of course it's your marriage to the Xie family. They came to propose marriage today."

"But that person is not Patriarch Xie."

"Isn't my daughter going to marry Xie Jiusi?"

Gu Xing'an's smile froze for a moment, and he was choked for a moment, and did not answer for a long time.

Gu Xiyue's face instantly lost its color as she recalled what Xie Jiusi had said to her.

"The person you want me to marry is Xie Tingwei, the eldest son of the third branch of the Xie family, right?"

Gu Xiyue looked straight into Gu Xing'an's eyes, her eyes full of pleading.

How she wished that Gu Xing'an would tell her at this moment that it was not true, that it was all fake, and that the person who came today was proposing marriage on behalf of Xie Jiusi.

Gu Xingan was a little surprised how she knew this, but since she knew it, he nodded.

"Yes, Dad has investigated. The second branch of the Xie family is weak, and only the eldest son of the third branch can be a good candidate."

"Didn't you say that it was Old Master Xie who agreed to my marriage to the head of the Xie family? Now, who in the whole of Kyoto doesn't know that I'm the future wife of the head of the Xie family? Now you tell me that I'm going to marry the third wife of the Xie family, and such a lustful and vulgar man, then I will become a laughing stock in the whole of Kyoto!"

Gu Xiyue seemed to be crazy, venting her dissatisfaction and anger towards Gu Xing'an without any regard.

"I won't marry! If I were to marry, I would only marry Xie Jiusi! Apart from him, I won't marry anyone else!"

Seeing her yelling like that, Gu Xing'an lost his patience and slammed the table, shouting, "Enough! Look at what you're doing! The betrothal gifts have been accepted, and this matter has no say on your part! This marriage is a done deal!"

"Dad!..." Gu Xiyue burst into tears. She didn't understand why Gu Xing'an did this. How could she stand in front of those noble ladies in the future!

"Someone, take the young lady back to her room!"

"Starting tomorrow, you should stay at home and embroider your wedding dress before getting married!" Gu Xing'an said coldly with a wave of his sleeves.

Gu Xiyue looked at Gu Xing'an's receding back in despair, her eyes full of disappointment and unwillingness.

why...

It was obvious that today on the pleasure boat she was the future wife of the Xie family, being praised by others and feeling so satisfied and happy.

It's only been half a day...

Everything turned into nothing...

Thinking of Xie Tingwei's lustful eyes just now, she was filled with disgust. How could such a man be worthy of her!

She is not reconciled!

Looking at the phoenix-tail colorful dress hanging on the hanger, tears flashed in her eyes and a stern look passed across her pretty face.

.....

Tufu's Mansion

After dinner, everyone sat together, drinking tea to help digest the food, with laughter and chatter.

"I've been dreaming about Yue's cooking skills for years. I don't know what she puts in the food, but her cooking is just better than others!"

Yan Xu said happily to Old Madam Su and Grand Tutor Su.

"Yeah, every time I eat Yue'er's cooking, I have to eat several more bowls of rice!"

Su Lin responded with a smile.

When they saw Yan Xu coming back with Su Yuejian, they were both shocked.

This is Tianjin’s number one chess master. I heard that the Yan family is even more powerful in Fuzhou.

I didn’t expect that I had known Yue’er from their family since childhood.

Later, when they heard about what happened at the Hibiscus Tea Party today, Old Madam Su and Grand Tutor Su were also shocked.

Yue'er's chess skills are so amazing!

Looking at the baskets of lychees and the story of the lychee forest that had spread throughout Kyoto, he was even more shocked by Yan Xu's love for Su Yuejian.

"Hey, Yue girl, let's ask Wu Lu to buy a fat sheep tomorrow. How about we have roasted lamb?"

Yan Xu looked at Su Yuejian with sparkling eyes.

"We?" Su Yuejian raised an eyebrow slightly. "Mr. Yan, you can eat a whole one by yourself, so where is the "we"?"

Yan Xu was choked, but he didn't feel angry, instead he felt happier.

"Then buy a few more! Black heron, do you hear me?"

"Yes!" Wu Lu responded happily.

Yan Xu likes Su Yuejian not only because she has good talent since childhood, but also because she is pretty and beautiful, and most importantly, she cooks delicious food.

Because of this, he wanted to stay in Chaowu Mountain at that time, but Gu Congyu used Xiao Hei to scare him and drove him away.

Yan Xu chuckled and looked at Su Yuejian, "Then let's put it this way."

"It depends on my mood." Su Yuejian was eating ice cream without even raising his head.

"That means you can..."

"Yue girl, let's have roasted lamb legs the day after tomorrow..."

"No."

"Why not!"

"If I say no, I just can't!"

"Row!"

"no!"

.....

Several people were confused when they saw Yan Xu and Su Yuejian bickering.

Isn't it said that Master Yan Xu is detached, calm and reserved? How come... he doesn't look like that at all...

Moreover, the outside world has always said that Yan Xu and Gu Congyu are mortal enemies.

"When will you return to Hongshan?" Su Yuejian put down the ice cheese and wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief.

"What am I going to do? I plan to live in Kyoto for a long time."

"Cough..." Master Su was drinking tea and choked by his words.

Master Yan Xu has lived in seclusion for much longer than Gu Congyu, and now he is going to live in Kyoto permanently.

"Why are you looking at me? Wu Lu is already looking for a house, but it will take some effort to find one that is close to the Taifu Mansion and secluded."

Yan Xu looked at Su Yuejian's puzzled expression and said with a heavy face,

"Since your Grandpa Gu is gone, of course I have to look after you for him. I can't let you wander around alone."

"this is my house."

Su Yuejian pulled Su Lin over and said, "This is my father."

Then he pointed to Madam Su sitting above and Su Wan beside her and said, "Those are my grandmother and eldest sister."

Are you kidding me? How can I be alone?

"Hehe..." Yan Xu felt several pairs of eyes staring at him coldly, and laughed, "Anyway... I want to stay in Kyoto."

"It's up to you. My dad loves playing chess, so you can have some fun with him when you have nothing to do."

"Okay."

Listening to what the two said, Su Lin's hands trembled. Playing chess with the world's best chess master, did his daughter overestimate him?

And this Master Yan Xu, how come he is so easy to talk to, agreeing to whatever Yue'er says.

I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

This is obviously his daughter.

They chatted for a while.

Su Yuejian sent Yan Xu back to the yard.

Su Yuejian felt that the courtyard where the Wu family had lived before was unlucky, but fortunately Qiu Shui Xuan had been renovated, so he arranged him and Wu Lu to live in Qiu Shui Xuan.

In the courtyard, Yan Xu and Wu Lu heard that Qiu Shui Xuan was where Su Yuejian had been living since she entered the mansion.

"This yard is quite elegant, but it's a little small."

"Why are there only crape myrtles planted here? Aren't there any jasmines that you like?"

"Where is he?"

Su Yuejian interrupted their conversation.
